Hi ,
I am creating a code that can save Array of Byte from Resource to a file .
So I go to Solution explorer > Properties > Resource tab > and set Files (ctrl + 5 ) .

This is my code :

C#

byte[] picArray = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(Properties.Resources.File);

System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(@"Path", picArray);

this code must Assign( Properties.Resources.File) to picArray , But it run with error "Illegal characters in path." in first line ,

what i can do to solve this problem ?
thanks in advance .

Well what is your path? It looks like you are just sending 'Path' which I'm pretty sure isn't a valid one

I Saved all of the Files in Properties.Resources ,,, so this a File path.

@"Path" is a path in my computer ... I write @"Path" for this question , it is correct in Original code

The problem is that you are trying to read the file from the disk, using the data in your resources as the path to the file.

It doesn't "Assign( Properties.Resources.File) to picArray" it tries to use that info as as file path instead. Probably, you want this instead:

C#

byte[] picArray = (byte[])Properties.Resources.File;
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(@"Path", picArray);
